"The episode takes place in Booster's very early stages where he's at his conceited best, where he believes he can do whatever he wants," Martsolf told TV Guide. "He's gonna stay for the photo op and bask in the glory of his heroic efforts."

The actor described Gold, who was originally created in 1986 by writer Dan Jurgens, as "a glory-seeking showboat from the future".

"[Clark] wants to stand in the back and not be a glory hound," he explained. "[He and Booster] are completely opposites of one another."
